Broken MAP Sensor housing. Advice?
Just as the title reads. I have a FAST 92 but I had planned on selling my LS6 intake. Well I just....just made a bone headed move today and the nipple that houses the larger vacuum hose broke off. From my understanding, there isn't a replacement for these. I don't know what to do. I don't want to throw away this intake simply because of that housing.

The CLIP that secures it in the manifold is on the INSIDE and usually breaks when removed. Give it a try and remove it. Find a LS1 intake (usually almost free) and scavenge that plug and clip.
You can cut it off and try tapping it with a pipe thread tap and screwing in a brass fitting!
